Respuesta :

Answer:60*2.75=165 inches

165/12=13.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the concept of scale, it is found that the actual measurement of that side of the courtyards is of 165 inches, that is, 13.75 feet.

-----------------------------

  • A scale works the same as a proportion.
  • Scale of 1 to 60 means that one inch of drawing represents 60 inches in actual measurement.

-----------------------------

  • The drawing is of 2.75 inches.

Applying the rule of three:

Drawing - Actual measurement

1 inch - 60 inches

2.75 inches - x inches

Applying cross multiplication:

[tex]x = 60 \times 2.75[/tex]

[tex]x = 165[/tex]

The actual measurement of that side of the courtyards is of 165 inches.

-----------------------------

  • Each feet has 12 inches, thus, the measurement in feet is of [tex]\frac{165}{12} = 13.75[/tex].
